Project XJ

[Jeff]

i still look at my gauge (stock) much more than i ever have. i run "good" coolant and water wetter... i still watch too closely. I know 210 is a jeep thing... it just feels a little high for me.

I did a complete coolant flush and installed new coolant. I probably could toss some water wetter in it. I watch gauges all the time...my oil pressure gauge has Parkinson's so I am always watching to see what they do next. 210 is pretty much "center" for most vehicles I think. Fans cut on at 212 and run til its back down to 210.

with the one fan being manual, i'm going to assume this set up with "warm up" faster... I think i'd rather have it riggied to the ignition.

I plan to rig them both to a switch for when I am on the trail. Remember any time the A/C is on they are both on (which is most of the time it is hot out.)

time to find a junk yard with a Diesel XJ?

For more reasons then the fans my friend....
